rlly rlly hoping you’re still active but i need some advice for a first time cosplay as face, specifically where to start. do i look around thrift stores for clothes? do i find things that are similar or that need to be modified? are there any good tutorials on a dave cosplay you can reccomend?

Hi there. Congrats on your first cosplay! Welcome to this fun hobby.

If you haven't checked out this website yet, it's an archive of Homestuck related cosplay tutorials and guides. They have a sections dedicated to specific characters, so just scroll down to you find Dave.

The difficulty of this cosplay depends on which version of Dave you are cosplaying. WhatPumpkin used to sell official Dave shirts, both plain white tee shirts and the red sleeve baseball tees. You should be able to find either of those on eBay pretty easily. Here is an etsy listing for made to order Dave shirts. If you're looking for more DIY, purchasing a shirt at a thrift store and modifying it is also a great option. Here's a tutorial for using heat transfers for the shirt logos.

Here is a Dave cosplay guide. It's for his godtier outfit, but should help you out nonetheless.

Thrift stores would be a great place to start for aviator sunglasses. I think every pair of glasses I ever bought for cosplays were from Walmart or the Dollar Tree, so those are also good starting places if you have them locally.

Here's a link to a pretty cheap blonde wig to get you started. When I first started this blog 10 years ago, there wasn't much of a market for cosplay items on Amazon yet. I've bought a few wigs from there over the years. Just always check reviews! Some other good cosplay specific wig sites are Arda Wigs, EpicCosplay Wiigs, and the Five Wits Wigs, bu they are all on the pricier side because they sell very high quality synthetic wigs. A simple Amazon or eBay wig is plenty to start off with, though. Here's a wig styling tutorial on YouTube.

And lastly, remember to have fun. Cosplay is a hobby and it should be fun for you. Best of luck to you! Please feel free to reach out with any other questions. I'm sporadically active on this blog still, and typically answer messages privately.
